Message

At Skybound Entertainment, I work as a VFX Technical Director, a role I’ve held since April 2023.

Before that, I was a Compositor/Visual Development Artist at Lex & Otis Animation and a Senior VFX Artist/FX Supervisor at Crunchyroll.

My earlier work includes FX Technical Director/Compositor/Post Production Artist at Warner Bros. Entertainment, as well as VFX and compositing work at Noble Transmission Group, LLC.

I also have experience in motion graphics, graphic design, matte painting, and animation. I earned an MFA in Animation and Visual Effects from Academy of Art University and a BFA in Graphic Design from UNC Greensboro.
